London's Gatwick Airport remain shut due to drone sightings

However, the airfield only reopened for a mere 44 minutes before being closed again after a further sighting of the drones.

Flights are reportedly being diverted to other airports in the United Kingdom and across Europe due to the emergency.

London'sGatwick Airport shut down late Wednesday, Dec. 19, 2018, while officials urgently investigated reports that two drones were flying above the airfield.

It is illegal to fly drones within 1 kilometer of an airfield and a police investigation was underway, Gatwick said.

"Our airlines are working to provide affected passengers with hotel accommodation or transport passengers landing at other airports to Gatwick by other means, and Gatwick staff are looking after passengers in our terminals", the airport said.

Ms Jaworska said it was "strange" that two drones had led to the closure of the airport.
